There's another thread about selling glowing fish that have been
genetically altered with Cnidarian genes.
Well being a "plant" list.......
There are "glowing" plants as well, they have been around a long time.
A number of algae possess biolumenscese. They have a classic fire fly
tobacco GM mix in...

Sorry I hit a "personal" spot with the CS rep. from another chain pet
store. But, in another industry of which I am a long-time hobbysist,
running, I happen to know more about running shoes than most any store
sales person. (with the exception of other runners who happen to work
for mail-order...

Hi all,
If you read my little disaster story last week in alt.aquaria, you would
know my 40g display tank is now fishless. I don't want to restock until I
move (late Aug/early Sep), but I do have plants in that tank that I'd like
to keep healthy until I restock. The plants are Aponogeton bulbs...

Following a total remake of an odd planted tank, I have a quantity of
Cryptocoryne pontideriifolia -- not at all beautiful, but lotsa rhizomes,
healthy so far
Java fern -- much like the above
Java moss -- what can you say, the stuff's indestructible anyway

I am getting some Discus fish in a few days, and I'm adding them to my
planted South-American tank.
I will need to raise the temp to 84-6 F for the Discus.
Which plants do well at 84 F or higher ?
I have these plants in the tank now :
Hygrophila species
North American water lilly ( species ? )

Two of my 7 S.A.E.s have taken to taken to chasing each other around.They
appear to be sucking the stripes off of each other. After a bout of chase
and nip their stripes are barely discernable, but come back overnight. Am I
right in assuming this is a territorial dispute between them? What are...

Hello all,
I recently came across a trace element mix in my local garden
supply/seed store produced by Whitmire Micro-Gen. Since the price is
only $1.50/lb as opposed to $6-$7/lb+ for mail order sources - I was
wondering what the experts here thought of the possibility of using
this for PMDD. ...

I think it looks great, especially compared to the older photos.
Only comment would be to lose the stick-on thermometer on the front of the
tank and use something a little more discreet.
I wish I could find a supplier of that substrate :-)

I have a R75g, And inject Co2 wtih compressed gas. My absorbed level
is usaually always 15-18 ppm. I add ferts on a regular schedule. My
question is sometime the bubbles(o2 pearling) dont seem to be as good
as some days even after water changes? Is this normal? The tank was
setup again with all new...

The inevitable has happened to my Hygrophila Carombosa as it changed from
its marginal state to its submerged state. All the larger leaves have died
off and I'm left with a few puny stalks with small leaves being produced
that eventually break off. Some the stalks disintegrate and lie just...

Hello,
I'm just contemplating setting up a cichlid tank. Unlike my tropical
tank (which has very soft, slightly acidic water), this will require
hard water of pH around 8. I am interested in knowing what plants are
going to be happy in these conditions.
Preferably I would like plants that do not...

I have a 40 gallon planted tank and I would like to upgrade the lighting.
I currently have 2 regular 36" flourescents (30W each) on top of a glass
canopy. My crypts and Java Fern are going fine, but nothing else really
thrives even with compressed CO2 and I'd like to be able to grow a...

I am thinking of buying Hagen's CO2 system which, in £s, is inexpensive :
£15 approx.
I see that there are kits costing £100-150 with more complex valve systems.
What is the disadvantage of the lest pricey Hagen kit, if any.
Thanks in advance

I was wondering if anyone had any luck growing Eustralis Stellata. On
tropica it is listed as very hard to grow, I was wondering about everyones
experiences with it...I was thinking of ordering some, as it is a very
beautiful looking plant.
